THE GLORIOUS MYSTERIES
20TH MAY
2020
1st Glorious Mystery - The Resurrection On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. John 20:1 Mother, pray that your Son grants us the grace to see in His Resurrection the promise of a world made new. Mary, help us to grow in certainty that the Author of Life is risen! Pray that we always see Him alive in our brothers and sisters in Christ. Pray that with the grace of God, all people of goodwill may boldly confront and defeat modern forms of sin, decay, and death. 2nd Glorious Mystery - The Ascension “But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. Acts 1:7-9 Mother, pray that your Son grants us the grace to trust in Him, even if we cannot see Him. Help us to see a connection between our efforts in the world and the presence of Christ, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. 3rd Glorious Mystery - The Descent of the Holy Spirit And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. Acts 2:2-4 Mother, pray that your Son grants us the grace to welcome the Spirit’s life within us, so that, like you, we may give flesh to God’s Word in all we do. With the gifts of the Holy Spirit, may our Yes, like yours, proclaim the greatness of the Lord; may our spirit rejoice in God, our saviour—for to those who fear Him, He promises healing, even of the scars that we’ve inflicted on creation.
